Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan has dropped his
endorsement of a Wisconsin lawmaker [Roger Rivard, R-Rice Lake] who said that his father had told
him "some girls, they rape so easy" as a way to warn him that women
could consent to sex but then later claim they hadn't...

It is the second time Ryan, a Janesville congressman, has withdrawn his
support from a fellow Republican when they made comments about rape. In
August, Ryan, Walker and other Republicans unsuccessfully urged U.S.
Rep. Todd Akin of Missouri to drop out of his U.S. Senate race when he
said women's bodies can "shut down" to prevent pregnancies in instances
of "legitimate rape."

Republicans like Mitt Romney should stop talking about de-funding Planned Parenthood and should instead read its literature or show up for classes there.

What water, wetland protection is all about

"A little fill here and there may seem to be nothing to become excited about. But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist. Our navigable waters are a precious natural heritage, once gone, they disappear forever," wrote the Wisconsin Supreme Court in its 1960 opinion resolving Hixon v. PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.
